Building the future of retail at Shopify as a development manager for retail payments, iOS/Mac dev, antagonizing my wife and kids, playing video games.

@gailcarmichael Wow sorry I missed your reply! Yeah POS Go is a custom Android device - like a phone but locked down and with barcode scanning and card payment hardware built in. We are running pretty much standard Shopify POS for Android on there.

[Chris Saldanha @ChristoDeluxe]

Excited to share POS Go, our flagship point of sale and payment device. This is culmination of a ton of hard work by our hardware and payments teams!

[Shopify @Shopify]

this is what you came for

coming soon to the palm of your hand: POS Go, our ultimate all-in-one mobile device that lets you close sales, check inventory, and even pull up customer info – wherever you are.

Never forget Ontario while your hospital emergency rooms close b/c of lack of nursing staff that Doug Ford is on holidays at his multi million dollar cottage in Muskoka. He doesn't give a shit whether you live or die. #onpoli #cdnpoli

@PaolaNotPaolo I’ve had a few of my people take this program. Some for fun travel destinations and some to do stuff like take their family to spend a lot of time with their parents ‘back home’ esp when they’ve had kids. I’m happy other companies are running with this idea!

[Chris Saldanha @ChristoDeluxe]

@PaolaNotPaolo Shopify is fully remote and we’ve had a 90-day work-from-away program like that for over a year now. (and our coding interview is pair programming style). Happy to chat if you’re looking…

Just a friendly reminder that Ford only kept 37% of his election promises...
- he didn't reduce income tax by 20%
- he didn't end hallway medicine (made it worse)
- he didn't cut your hydro bill by 12% (increased by 4.3%)
- he didn't fix the Autism program

@gailcarmichael I’d say start at your family doc and get a referral to an ENT (ear/nose/throat) specialist.

@JLLundrigan This sounds like much of my usual parenting in the teenage years LOL…

But seriously I hope your kid has a mild case and speedy recovery!

@alenaiouguina A ray of sunshine when there’s so much sadness around. Congrats Alëna! ❤️ Anya is absolutely adorable!

[Scott Vinkle @svinkle]

I'm super stoked to be speaking at #axecon 2022, a virtual conference by @dequesystems, with so many amazing #accessibility speakers.

I’ll be sharing my findings on developing and testing for #a11y in #ReactNative apps.

@mrkrishsatya Never let your kids find out about that Rascal Flatts version of Life is a Highway.

Fellow Ontario drivers - please like and retweet if you would rather pay $120 a year to renew your license plate than lose aprox $1-billion A YEAR in govt spending on public services like healthcare and education. #onpoli #onted

@jasmineashaw The hardest talk I ever did was like 20-30 minutes at a TEDx Youth event with no speaker notes and not really being able to see my slides. I have never rehearsed so many times!

[Chris Saldanha @ChristoDeluxe]

@Maryamfekrii @Shopify It was always awesome working with you Mary! I wish you all the best on your next adventure!

[Chris Saldanha @ChristoDeluxe]

@RedQueenCoder Oh Janie I’m so sorry. Delia couldn’t have had a better human than you. Thank you for sharing Delia with all of us in the community over the years, she brought so much joy…

About as accurate a description as I can think of…

[@jahfer.com on bsky.app @Jahfer]

Good quotes.

“…the Freedom Convoy’s connections to the country’s far-right significantly outweigh its connections to actual Canadian truckers”

“But by the end of January, Canadians were no longer leading the convoy — at least when it comes to the movement’s online presence.”
